Any Canadians, eh?

[gfair]

Speaking of people from TN, I'm curious to know how many Canucks play Arm and, specifically, anyone in BC?  That's where I'm from, always good to meet fellow armers.

[Canadian Beaver]

Hey, Ottawa, Ontario here.

[Sakra]

Ottawa, Ontario. Where APM's should be.  

[Olafson]

Oakville Ontario

[mansa]

<-   what does it say?


Did you know that you can sort the people registered on the GDB by their location?

[Kankman]

I'm also from Ottawa.. We should make a gang and kill people for fun.

[Angela Christine]

There are a couple people from around Vancouver.  I'm living in glorious isolation on Vancouver Island.

AC

So AC lives in Vancouver... so the secret lair (If watching GI Joe has taught me anything) must be shaped like an Air Conditioner, Armor Class, Air Crisis, or whatever else AC must stand for (Since it sure as hell isn't Angela Christie.)

[Gorobei]

You're right, it's not Angela Christie.  It's Angela Christine!
Maybe John's right, and she does own a porn shop (Adult Content).  All of the porn shop owners I've ever seen or met have been a bit off their rocker, too.

Oh yea, I live in Calgary, Alberta, just over the hill from BC.

[gfair]

Definitely cool... some crew in Ottawa.  I spent 8 months in Kanata with Nortel - yeah, during the 8 first months of their decline.  Fun times.  Gotta love being a co-op in those times - can't be fired... company policy.

Only one in Toronto - definitely ripe ground for Arm recruiting.  One in Calgary - more ripe territory.  Leave out Edmonton.

Now we need some folks in Montreal as well to get the top 3 cities by pop.

As for AC on Vancouver Island... that's a bit too close for my comfort.

[Harcroft]

Hamilton Ontario, theres a few more of us around here...they're just lost in the shadows or something.

[Krath]

Im From Flint Michigan, is that close enough

[Dan]

I too am from Flint Michigan...

What part around there were you raised?

[Impska]

Guelph, Ontario.

Though I'm originally from some sort of Ottawa crew that appears to exist.

[Gorobei]

Actually, there's more than me here in Calgary.   None of them use the GDB, though.  I've addicted four players, and I'm working on a fifth.
It's hard though.  "All text?  That's stupid.  I'm a visual learner!"  You know how it is.

Also, Moontug's in Edmonton, so there's no need to leave them out (no matter how much we want to).

[Zagren]

Toronto, Ontario. Don't hold it against me, please. Heh.

Used to live in Vancouver. Wish I was still there  :shock:

[Southern Vestric]

I'm Ottawa, Ontario as well

We Ottawan's should have a meet sometime soon geez didn't realize there were so many of us!

SV out

[gfair]

The best line against a visual learner is - it IS a visual game.  Do they read text with their ears?!

I mean... saying Arm isn't a visual game is like saying LOTR is just three books full of text.

Tell them to just try it.  Just try it!  Nobody knows how much they will like Arm until they make an effort to get into it.

[Gorobei]

Heh, I've tried.  He's my neighbor, and I got his brother to start playing, but this kid is just content playing his Heroes 3 maps over and over again.

Is there anyone in Calgary who I don't know about?

Nothing wrong with Heroes 3 ;->

[Malifaxis]

There's a bunch of us in SouthEastern minnesota, namely Winona... who are very much considering hopping the border out of this insane, blood crazy country.

Anyone have any suggestions on nice places to move where it's not too tough to get a job in Canadia?

[Anonymous]

There's a bunch of us in SouthEastern minnesota, namely Winona... who are very much considering hopping the border out of this insane, blood crazy country.

Maybe you were just being tongue and cheek here, but if the US is so blood crazed how come we share the only unguarded border in the world last I checked?

Funny how all those peace loving middle eastern countries we are gearing up to prey on can't say the same.

[John]

Of course not. Because if they could, then they wouldn't be the only one (because of the Canada and America border). pffffffft.

[Gorobei]

It's not the only unguarded border, it's just the -longest- one.

[Malifaxis]

Okay... okay... so, if I'm interested in moving to canada, I need to know the border is unguarded.  Alright.

I'm going to have to start thinking like a canadian soon, I think...

But yeah, I'm pretty much joking when I say I hope America doesn't go to war with Canada when tons of them start coming down with some diseased first found in Canada that comes to be known as "Canadian Death Syndrome" as the death toll climbs in to the thousands.

[Angela Christine]

Okay... okay... so, if I'm interested in moving to canada, I need to know the border is unguarded.  Alright.

Sure, how do you think all those draft dodgers got up here?  Through the unguarded boarder, of course.  My mom was a teenager back then, and helped smuggle a few GIs that had already done a tour or two in 'nam and didn't want to go back into Canada through the woods.  She'd trade clothes with 'em, so the escapee would be dressed like a hippie while she would be wearing a uniform that obvioulsy wasn't hers.  Hippies weren't known for carrying ID, and the accent between western Canadians and northwestern USAmericans is pretty similar, so it was pretty tough to tell who was who even if someone had been guarding the boarder.  My mom was quite the adventuress in her youth.

It's funny, because at least on the Canadian side the Customs workers at the official boarder crossings don't have any weapons.  No weapons.  If someone causes trouble, they have to call the police to come help them.  Well, at least that is how it was about a year ago when the story made the news.  A really, really, unguarded boarder.  It would cost to much for it to be a guarded boarder, just look how much it costs to guard the mexican boarder.  It would probably take Canada's entire military budget just to guard the boarder, and everyone would still know that if the US decided to invade having our entire military at the boarder wouldn't make much difference.  :sigh:  

I'm going to have to start thinking like a canadian soon, I think...

Step one:  When you get money out of an automated teller machine, say "thank you".  Ok, I've never actually done this, but apparently many Canadians were thanking thier ATMS when the machines first came out.  We're polite.  No one ever suspects the polite ones.    :twisted:   We know how to make nuclear weapons, we produce all the ingredients to make nuclear weapons, but we don't make them, because we promised we wouldn't make any.  Isn't that nice?  Anyway, try to be polite all the time.

Step two:  Eat more donuts.  Again, this isn't something I do myself, but apparently many Canadians feel a deep affection for Tim Hortons, which sells donuts and coffee.

Angela Christine

[Shinigami]

Ahh, Tim Hortons, how many bleary-eyed hours did I spend in your hallowed halls of doughnutty goodness cramming for this or that exam...  of course, Tim Horton's isn't the -best- donuts in the world... that accolade goes to the eastern US's Krispy Kreme.  However, it is the best selection, ant the best non-glazed donuts.  Can't beat a Krispy Kreme for glazed doughnuts... and their cruellers are better, too.   :twisted:

Canada has a military budget?  Just how much does a canoe and a rifle cost these days, five beaver pelts?  Hahaha, *ahem* In all honesty, there are more submarines in the West Edmonton Mall's underwater sea adventure than in the entire Canadian armed forces... what does that say?

[Uglyhead]

Labrador City, Labrador, Newfoundland & Labrador, here, pally-o's.

[Yasbusta]

I was up the other night and was wondering if our forces are sooo horrid why when the northamerican forces games come around each year the Americans allways complain about us having unfair advantages.... I mean really how can a fifty year old tank compare to a brand spanking new american tank. Well let me tell you one little tid bit of information, They don't compare we have not lost to the americans once. But all in all that does not matter one bit cause all that matters in war is whom controlls the air, and by god them american's do(Oh how I do hate thee sometimes, but others love thee). Any ways god save the Queen.... We still have a queen, didn't we become our own country before I was born, oh well, Gooo UkCanadaUsa, sounds better... Watching Our P.M lick the arses of all the other countries dusgusts me, way to stand up for yourselves and beliefs Us, even if they are wrong and a bit blood thirsty at times, heh....

Oh I guess I should add
Formly Hamilton, Ontario
Now trying to reform New Bruinswick, Oromocto to Zanthalas, Allanak, muhahahahaha

[gfair]

Labrador City, Labrador, Newfoundland & Labrador, here, pally-o's.

Uh, Newfoundland is cool, umkaaaay?

Very cool place - figuratively and literally.  Never been there, but ya gotta love the place where Vikings were known to live many years before Christo Columbus was said to have discovered North America.


Ya know, speaking of Tim Hortons, we should do like those commercials, see if we can get the IMMs to setup a Canadian area where Canucks can secretly plot to take over Arm.

[Anonymous]

way to stand up for yourselves and beliefs Us, even if they are wrong and a bit blood thirsty at times, heh....

I'm somehow amazed that this turned into a Canada/US thing.  That is probably best left in the OOC area, leaving this thread free for Canadians to announce themselves.

[Krath]

Two Words......

Canadian Bacon....
